Swimwear is where plus-size shopping gets hardest, and where the right piece makes the biggest difference to your summer. This is a practical guide to choosing plus size swimwear that fits and holds up, whatever your shape. Everything sits in our plus size swimwear edit, sized for real bodies rather than an afterthought size run.
If you want more tummy control
Look for a one-piece with a ruched or gathered front, which skims rather than clings, and a twist-front bandeau or waist-tie style that draws the eye to the middle. A slightly higher-cut leg lengthens without feeling revealing. These are the most-reached-for styles in the edit for good reason.
If you have a fuller bust
Underwire tankinis and one-pieces with built-in support and adjustable straps do the work a basic scoop never will. A swimming costume made for a larger bust gives you real lift and coverage, so you can move without adjusting all day.
If you actually swim
If you are doing laps or aqua classes, choose chlorine-resistant fabric and full tank coverage - it survives the season instead of going sheer by March. Boyleg styles add coverage on the leg for extra confidence in the water.
Getting the size right
Swim sizing runs a little tighter than clothing, so if you are between sizes, size up. Our swim runs from an Australian 10 through to 26-28 - check the size chart for exact measurements before you buy.
